[=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=] EDIT: FMD is made by Olympus, not Fujitsu. Currently, I am optically jacked into my updated cyber rig (cyberdeck?) The display is the Fujitsu FMD-250W. The computing device is a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The input device is a Fellows Stowaway folding USB keyboard. Operating System is Raspbian; Editor is nano. I had some time this afternoon to fire up my soldering iron and add a composite RCA jack to the Pi Zero W. Quick job, no issues, easy instructions available. [1] The Fujitsu FMD-250W uses either S-Video or composite for video input. Since I no longer have a "classic" Raspberry Pi with the composite video connector, I soldered one on a Pi Zero W. The FMD was the device I had previously used with my Nokia N900...which I still want to get working again. What took the longest was the configuration. It took me awhile to find a font size that I was happy with. I ended up settling with using TerminusBold @ 11x22. The screen is not quite wide enough to read phlogs without wrapping with this font, but good enough. These pages were helpful. [2] [3] The Pi is currently powered by a USB phone charger, but the display is using a wall wart. I would like to consolidate the power and have the whole setup drawing from one power source. It would be kinda cool, tho extremely geeky to make this rig mobile. I would probably fit in with CrashOverride and his partners in crime at the phone booths at Grand Central Station...and look totally ridiculous to boot! Here are some build pics: Jack soldered to Raspberry Pi Zero W [4] TV Test with RetroPi and 2.5" Pocket TV [5] Cyber rig with FMD, Pi0w, keyboard, and battery. [6] (BTW, what's the protocol for posting pics in the phlogosphere? I've been adding them to my gophermap and linking them that way for download. Seems kinda kludgy. On the fence re: using HTTP.) Even now, I'm already thinking of further upgrades. It would have been nice if both channels on the headphones were still functional for audio. Perhaps I can fix or find a workaround.[1] Instructions for RCA jack on PI0
